SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- In December 2007, a Linksys wireless router and wireless USB card were purchased for me as a Christmas gift. I finally had the opportunity to hook up the products for use in February 2008. From the month of February to December 2008, I have had to make at least one phone call each month because my router arbitrarily boots me off the internet. I have case ID numbers and can pull phone records to prove this.
By the month of May, I realized that my router must be defective, as my father owns a router by Linksys and he had not experienced these same issues. Also, not one representative at Linksys could give me an explanation as to why I was having repeat issues retaining my connection. I was never able to log back on without going through a long list of steps with the help of technical support. The duration of each telephone call was a minimum of 45 minutes. Each time I have requested a defective exchange, since May I was told, "you have to call technical support." Then technical support would refer me back to customer service.
I wrote an email to the escalated issues customer service department (because they provide you no other options for escalated cases) and received no response to this email. A perfect example of this company "passing the buck" occurred this week-which was the final straw, and only a taste of the runaround that I had been given. After another stint of monthly phone calls and no results, I wrote another email in late Nov/early Dec to which I actually received a response - stating to call them! I was provided with the same customer service number that goes to India that I had been calling all along!
I have asked for a local contact or to speak with somebody who is truly in a position of authority several times and to date, not one of my requests have been accommodated. Why is the leadership within this organization hiding from the consumer? I replied and the email was returned stating that I did not reply within the specified lines on the form!!!
In response to the second email to Linksys in late November/early December with regard to the poor service, I finally received a reply back stating to call the customer service number! I replied back and received an auto response stating that they could not process my request for assistance because my response was not written within the specified space (which was inaccurate as I was sure to copy and paste my information in the area specified).
Several weeks later (now December 30th) I received a call from Mark who gave the usual empathy statements and said that he would be glad to help me with my exchange and then said "I see that you are just a little outside your warranty but since you have been calling in, we will assist you with an exchange. It should be no problem." I was excited because I thought that I was finally going to get help! M BADGE# ** gave me yet another case ID number and told me to call customer service (passing the buck once again!!!!!!!) because he was "just tech support" and cannot process any exchanges on his end!
When I arrived home on the evening of December 30th, I realized that I left the number in my office on a notepad. I figured it was no big deal, and planned to call the next day once I had the final case number in my possession. Unfortunately, my computer booted me off again that same night- forcing me to call Linksys once again! After waiting on hold, an excessive amount of time as usual, I was connected with a representative named K, who provided a badge number **.
After I explained my problem to him, he said that since he was just a customer service representative, he could not assist me because I was "outside my warranty" and that a manager would have to assist. I was promised a connection with a supervisor/manager and placed on hold for a period of approximately (perhaps longer) 15 minutes.
The first time, a manager named S--, who provided no badge number, "assisted" me by saying that he can extend my warranty by six months. I told him that this was unacceptable because I have had to call every month since owning the product and the problem only repeats itself. I repeatedly explained to him that I want my product exchanged for one that actually works. Finally, he disconnected the call after a long silence and no warning.
When I called back, I waited on hold again and spoke with a gentleman named R-- BADGE# ** (by the way, it is amazing how quickly these representative speed through their names and badge numbers and are often reluctant to repeat the information- once again why does Linksys hide from the consumer) who claimed that there "was no S-- there" and went as far as to mock me by saying, "We are in India there is no S-- here", and he did not even have a record of the phone call.
The last record that he has was from a call that I received from M, the technical support representative from earlier that evening! R-- promised to connect me to a manager. I waited on hold for 35 minutes! The call was then disconnected. I could tell that the phone was picked up twice and put back on hold because every now and then I would hear people speaking in the background the way you typically do when contacting a call center, then the phone was placed back on hold.
After the phone was disconnected, I called back and after waiting on hold, I was connected to a man named R BADGE #**. He told me that they could not help me (he would not even help me get back online) because I was outside of my warranty (no kidding how many times did I have to repeat my story and whose fault is that, it's not like I just started calling yesterday) - unless I either paid a one time fee of 29.95 or for a 6 month warranty!!!! So how did I go from being promised assistance with my exchange (after almost a year of phone calls) to an offer of a 6-month extended warranty to no help at all unless I paid for the warranty!!!!
After R continued to try to extort money out of me by saying "I will connect you to technical support but only after you pay", I finally got fed up and disconnected the call, as it was now 1:05am EST and I had made no progress. After repeatedly passing the buck and sending me on wild goose chase, I was told that my "warranty is up" and now they cannot help me unless I pay for an extended warranty!!!
I truly believe that LINKSYS/CISCO SYSTEM's practices are dishonest! When you contact the customer service line, they have a recording that states, "If you believe that your product is defective and you need an exchange, you must first speak to technical support..." But even after speaking with technical support, you are told that you must go back to customer service and then customer service passes you back to technical support. Not one representative actually walks you through the exchange process.
The only thing that is ever accomplished in these calls is a representative walks you through the process of getting back online after being booted off! They totally ignored my request for an exchange, purposely brushed me off until the warranty was up just to tell me that they couldn't help me "because the warranty is expired!" I was intentionally brushed off until my warranty expired, just so Linksys could avoid having to exchange my router.
Due to lightening striking near our home the other day, we lost a number of devices in our home. One device that stopped working was our home network router (Netgear). Found a good deal at Best Buy on a Linksys N-Ultra RangePlus (by Cisco). It was on sale for $79 and we had a $10 coupon, so we got it for $69. Figured Cisco was a top brand name so I went with it. It had the new wireless-N protocol, along with supporting B/G (older wireless protocols). Claimed it had extended range as well. All good things.
Got home and started to set it up. I followed the instructions which wanted me to use the CD first before plugging anything in. Once I got to the steps to plug in the router, the setup program was unable to find the router. My computer (Thinkpad laptop running XP Pro with latest service packs) could not seem to connect to the router. I made sure all my firewall stuff was turned off, etc. It just kept saying it could not find the router and to make sure it was turned on, which it was.
I then tried connecting directly to the router via my browser. This seemed to work as I was granted access to login to the router admin tools. From there I tried to manually set it up, and it seemed to work fine. But I was still unable to connect from my laptop (via wireless). Next I decided to give the CD a try again. This time it worked! It said everything was set up and working perfectly, I was all done... or so I thought. Apparently their idea of "working" does not include the wireless, which again still did not work. It kept telling me I needed some certificate to prove my identity, or something like that.
I took the web and Googled it up. Found tons of pages of folks having the same problems. After trying about 5 different suggestions from folks, I finally found I needed to disable a "IEEE 802.1.x authentication" checkbox in my wireless settings to make it work for XP.
Long story short, considering XP is still one of the top utilized operating systems out there, I was a bit disappointed in the installation process and lack of help on their CD. The trouble-shooting section had only 5 symptoms, all of which involved essentially rebooted various devices. I would like to thank the general internet community for posting a solution... makes you realize just how wonderful the web is! ;-)
A few days ago I was trying to connect a new device to my wireless network, and having quite a few issues. I called my internet service provider. While I'd been "holding", waiting for tech support, my spouse and I had already decided to call Linksys (who made the router). The contact information sticker had partially worn away, so we just looked online for the customer service number.
The first site link provided by Google was this- "Get Online Support For Linksys Router By Tech Call 1-877-501-3693". Bad grammar? Apparently not. This company isn't Linksys, nor associated with them. They won't however, tell you that when answering their phones, and answered as "Linksys router tech support, how may I help you?" They proceeded to take information for a basically quick fix, 2 sec. problem, then said that they could immediately, and remotely fix the issue for a one time $90.00 charge.
At this point, my spouse became rather hilariously irate, demanded more information, a supervisor, and an explanation of proposed charges. After being asked for a fifth time, the phone representative admitted that they weren't Linksys, but were a "completely approved third party" and that by handing them $90.00, they'd "fix the problem quicker than Linksys could". (Their webpage is currently disabled, which we didn't check before calling.)
We hung up, and gave no credit information. I've since found Linksys's actual number, and reported this issue to them. Anyway, I'm posting this because a great many people find businesses, or their contact info online. Make sure that you are actually dealing with the proper company. Make sure to ask for a full explanation of charges before issuing any payment.

MOSCOW, Dec. 14 (UPI) -- Russia may develop a non-nuclear missile capable of hitting nearly any target in the world, Strategic Missile Forces Commander Sergei Karakayev said Friday.
"The availability of a powerful liquid-fueled ICBM allows us the capability of creating a strategic high-accuracy weapons system with a conventional payload with practically global range, if the U.S. does not pull back from its program for creating such missile systems," Karakayev said.
He said the liquid-fuel missile, with a 100-ton payload, could penetrate any defense system likely to emerge anytime soon, RIA Novosti reported.
"The higher energy provided by liquid fuels gives it more varied and effective methods of countermeasures against global missile defense screens, including space-based elements of those systems," he said.
Karakayev's comments mark the first announcement from the agency that the fifth-generation solid-fueled ICBM would be deployed. RIA Novosti said unnamed sources previously indicated it would be deployed by 2014.
The agency performed several test-firings of a prototype of the new missile, the last conducted Oct. 24, RIA Novosti said.
Karakayev said it was too soon to discuss the details for "clearly obvious reasons." But he said the "results of the launches show that the makers of this missile technology are clearly on the right track."

Olson's new Hexa Gripper features a revolutionary design that helps to increase air transfer, thereby reducing ice melt and on-ice gripper marks. Also, it is made out of a high quality Thermal Rubber, which is far superior in grip and durability to any other Gripper currently on the market.
Hexa Gripper Sizing
Ladies 5 - 5.5 = XSMALL
Ladies 6 - 7.5 = SMALL
Ladies 8 - 9.5 = MEDIUM
Ladies 10 = LARGE
Mens 7 - 8 = MEDIUM
Mens 8.5 - 10 = LARGE
Mens 10.5 - 12 = XLARGE
Mens 13 - 14 = XXLARGE
Please Note: The New Hexa Grippers have been made to fit over the current Olson's shoe line (Ladies' Fly and Classic and Men's Ole and Classic), which are sized according to the Canadian and American Standard Curling Shoe Sizing.
If you are ordering the Hexa gripper for shoes from an earlier season, (ELEMENT, FX-300, TITAN, X-RIDE, STRATA, ATHENA, DIVA, BELLA, FIRE, BLAZE, ICE and HOT SCOTCH), you may want to size down as these shoes tended to run smaller.

Our waitress was NCGF so she was very knowledgeable. The food was great, a bit pricy but wonderful quality. The wait time and shear business of it made it near impossible for her to be attentive. My stomach is hurting a bit already so I am not sure if it is Celiac friendly or not.
I haven't had any reactions after eating there.
Ate here in May 2015. Best Steak and mashed potatoes ever. I have a extreme gluten allergy. I was worried.. But, No problem... I did not have desert.
|Celiac friendly
I have always loved this chain, especially since I can get a gf dessert. however, I'm 99% sure I was glutened at this establishment. possibly my fault for not mentioning my intolerance at time of order, even though the waitress was the one who brought me the gf menu, etc. sick as a dog the following morning. be careful here.

I have eaten at Outback before being diagnosed with celiac and enjoyed the food. After diagnosis I went online to read the gf options. It infuriated me to read we I can order a burger but I must tell server no roll! Seriously! They also go on to say, you may bring your own roll but do not give it to the wait staff to go to the kitchen!!! Furthermore, they continue to tell you keep the roll and build your own burger! That what we want to pick up a sizzling burger and assemble my own! The nerve of them!!!

My wife and i had a similar experience to the last review. Except for we caught the croutons right off the bat. Even though we ordered off the GF menu and told the waitress multiple times there salad came out with croutons. The manager came out and was not apologetic whatsoever.

I've talked to kitchen managers at several Outback steak houses and they do take it seriously. Of course it all depends on the actual staff in the kitchen but corporate policy is to have separate work stations.

We went last night with our toddler who has Celiac because of the other positive reviews. I notified the hostess and she gave us a special GF menu. Our server (Stephanie, I think) was also very accommodating and understanding. She even asked if we'd prefer not to have the bread come to the table. Our daughter had the blue cheese wedge salad, the ribeye steak, and the steamed broccoli (all off the GF menu). She had no reactions and thought it was delicious. And I agree because I shared with her :)

Waitress was very sweet, but not very attentive. I ordered a Blue Cheese Pecan Chopped Salad with my meal after asking a lot of questions to determine if it would be safe for me to eat. I ordered GF dressing, a vinaigrette instead. When asked if it was GF, she said it was. It was not. Salad also had something crunchy on it under the lettuce. I started to have the telltale symptoms - puffy throat, itchy, etc. 🤦🏻♀ I caught it early enough to keep from using the epipen thank goodness! Very disappointed.

Although they do their best to avoid cross contamination, my last visit makes me question how safe for celiacs. After ordering from GF menu and reiterating gluten free several times, the salad that I ordered without croutons (and repeated it) was contaminated. I got halfway through the salad before finding a crouton. I give them 3 stars for effort and because the manager was extremely apologetic, comped my meal and gave us a $20 coupon. Proceed with caution.

They have a lot of gluten free options, even dessert. That being said, I still got glutened. I ordered strictly off of their gluten free menu - steak, baked potato and salad (no croutons). Our waitress was very attentive but I'm sure it's a case of cross contamination in the kitchen. The next day, I felt the affects. I'm giving 3 stars because my son who is also celiac felt fine.

I always trust the Outback chain as I have never gotten sick here. This was the first restaurant I ate at after moving to the area because I knew it was safe, and they did not disappoint. I ordered a mojito from the bar (gf bacardi, fresh lime and mint) and asked for the drink to be made in a new cup to avoid cross contamination. After ordering they came back asked about touching the mint leaves and if they needed to get new mint. The bar clearly knows as much about gf as the kitchen does. I was impressed.

Was hesitant at first. When we got there we asked The hostess if their gluten free menu was celiac friendly. She immediately got the manager and he walked me through their whole process. Our waiter was also extremely knowledgeable and carful with my food. The food was excellent the manager even threw in Their GF brownie for dessert for free. Not sure if every outback is this carful but this one is for sure! This celiac will be back.

This was my last and final time ever eating at an Outback. The menu is overpriced, the steaks are tiny and small for $20. Our food was not correct, the waiter didn't check on us not even one time. Then we asked for the bill and asked her to take off the items we didn't receive. She brings it back telling me she took them off hoping i was dumb enough to not look at it. It was a horrible Mother's Day experience and once again I was sorely disappointed in Outback. No matter where we go to one it's not what it used to be

Operating and acting as one of the UK's favourite brands, Clarks has roots travelling back to the 19th century. In 1825, James and Cyrus Clark were busy tannery owners, producing sheepskin rugs to help warm the homes of local villages. Producing tanned products meant that there were many off-cuts, a large majority of which were simply disposed of without proper use. That was until James had the idea to turn them into something useful, recycling the old materials into sheepskin slippers. Month after month, the popularity of these slippers grew, and led the brothers to unfold new chapters in their story and begin opening up stores to sell their goods in. From court shoes and heels to sandals and sneakers, all shoes made by Clarks can be traced back to the decisions made back then.
People of all ages loved Clarks because of their humble beginnings, trustworthy company ethos and sheer quality that they provide, time and time again. That's why at Bells Shoes, we are proud to offer a wide selection of women's and men's Clark shoes at competitive prices. It doesn't matter if you need running shoes, shoes for work or comfortable shoes for everyday, we're likely to have something that you'll love and cherish. Take a look through our selection below to see what we mean.
A family run business with morals and a strong ethos, Bells Shoes can fulfil all of your shoe requirements, whether you're shopping for your child or yourself. This is something that we're incredibly proud of and will continue to uphold throughout your experience with us. If you would like more information on what we are able to offer you or simply would like some advice, get in touch. We offer free UK delivery and returns on all orders, so if they don't fit or you no longer want your purchase, little hassle is involved.

GPSolo Magazine - September 2006
Dispute Resolution
Vacating Arbitration Awards
The available federal statutory grounds for vacatur include: award procured by corruption, evident partiality of the arbitrator, refusal to postpone the hearing for good cause, refusal to consider material evidence, and arbitrators exceeding their powers. Most jurisdictions also permit vacatur if the arbitrator's award exhibits "manifest disregard of the law," and some recognize other judicially created grounds: "contrary to public policy," "irrational," and "arbitrary and capricious."
The purpose of this article is to take a snapshot of the real-world application of these familiar standards in a recent sample of reported case law. We reviewed every case, state and federal, published and unpublished, reported between January 1, 2004, and October 31, 2004, in which a court decided a motion to vacate an arbitration award on any of these grounds.
We wanted to know which of the available grounds for vacatur are invoked most frequently, which most often succeed and which most often fail, whether the facts of the cases could help us read additional content into the relatively general and elastic grounds for vacatur employed by the courts, and whether the cases suggest any useful practice lessons for litigators and arbitrators.
Three categories of cases were excluded from our research. First, cases in which an award was vacated because the arbitration clause was held unconscionable or otherwise unenforceable from its inception as a matter of contract law. Second, cases addressing awards issued in the labor/collective bargaining context. Third, certain decisions involving statutorily mandated arbitrations in insurance and public-contracting disputes where the applicable standard of review was far less deferential and not representative of outcomes under the Federal Arbitration Act or the analogous state statutes. These exclusions left us with a sample of 182 reported cases, state and federal, that involved a wide variety of civil disputes and in which a motion to vacate succeeded in 37 instances, or 20 percent of the time.
We reviewed the 37 cases for possible subject-matter patterns in order to assess whether vacatur occurred disproportionately in cases involving employees, consumers, other individual litigants, or in any particular types of cases or industries. We found no such patterns.
Significant differences among forums. We did find significant differences in the frequency of successful vacatur applications based on the forums where the cases were decided. Of the total universe of 182 cases we reviewed, 120 were brought in state courts and only 62 were brought in the federal courts. Of the state court cases, 31, or about 25.8 percent, resulted in vacatur. By contrast, in the federal cases, only six awards were vacated, or about 9.7 percent.
We also saw dramatic differences in the vacatur success rate among different states. Of all the state court cases vacating an award, 71 percent were decided in only four states: New York (9), California (6), Connecticut (4), and Massachusetts (3). Nine other states ( Alabama, Louisiana, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin) each had one case vacating an award. No other state had any.
The figures also indicated that vacatur was attempted more often, and succeeded more often, both on an absolute and on a percentage basis, in just three states: California (27 attempts), New York (25), and Connecticut (12). The total of 64 cases in which a party sought vacatur in these three states exceeded the total of 56 such cases brought in all of the other 47 states combined and also exceeded the total of 62 such cases brought in the entire federal system. Moreover, the courts in those 64 cases in California, New York, and Connecticut vacated awards 19 times. A litigant seeking vacatur in these three states had a 30 percent chance of success as compared with a 21 percent chance of success in the other 47 states.
Most potent grounds. Our review found that the most frequently asserted and most frequently successful of all of the statutory and other grounds advanced by parties seeking vacatur was the allegation that the arbitrators had "exceeded their powers, or so imperfectly executed them that a . . . final and definitive award upon the subject matter submitted was not made." The next most active category was that the arbitrators allegedly "manifestly disregarded the law," but motions on this ground succeeded in only two cases, or about 4 percent of the time. The third most frequently advanced ground was that the arbitrators had committed "misbehavior by which the rights of a party were prejudiced," a catch-all category encompassing various judge-made grounds for vacatur other than "manifest disregard." This ground includes allegations that the award was "irrational," "violated public policy," or was "arbitrary and capricious."
In general, our sample confirmed how difficult it is for parties to obtain vacatur of an arbitration award. The chances of successfully vacating an award in the federal system or in states other than New York, California, or Connecticut were quite remote in our sample, particularly if the ground relied upon was something other than an argument that the arbitrators exceeded their powers.
Our review also indicated that the courts saw their role mainly as one of policing the procedural propriety of the arbitral process rather than correcting the substantive merits of the awards rendered. Once satisfied that the arbitrators had decided the issues submitted to them by the parties, and that the process satisfied an acceptable standard of "due process," the courts refrained from second-guessing the merits of the decisions reached by the arbitrators.
Avoiding motions to vacate. Our sample identified certain types of behavior by arbitrators and counsel that probably should be given a wide berth, even if such conduct did not always, or even often, result in vacatur. Although not necessarily held to be misconduct in the cases reviewed in our sample, these types of conduct appeared repeatedly in our sample as behaviors that gave rise to vacatur litigation.
For arbitrators, the short list of sensitive behaviors suggested by our sample of cases includes: exceeding the tribunal's powers by deciding issues not submitted to the arbitrators; awarding relief in favor of or against parties not bound by the arbitration agreement; granting relief outside the claims alleged or awarding types of relief that the arbitration clause or applicable law may not permit the arbitrator to award; failing to render an award that definitely and finally decides the issues; making incomplete disclosures during the arbitrator-selection process; and engaging in ex parte communications with parties or counsel.
For counsel, the list of actions to avoid includes: last-minute amendment of claims for relief; last-minute production of key evidence or witnesses that should have been disclosed sooner; failure to produce relevant documents; failure to make timely investigation into the arbitrators' disclosures; offering testimony that is contravened by other testimony by the same witnesses given in another proceeding; and seeking relief that the arbitrator is not empowered to grant.

For the care environment see Dental surgeries
Dental surgery is any of a number of medical procedures which involve artificially modifying the dentition.
Some of the more common are:
- Endodontic (surgery involving the pulp or root of the tooth)
- Root canal
- Pulpotomy The opening of the pulp chamber of the tooth to allow an infection to drain; Usually a precursor to a root canal
- Pulpectomy - The removal of the pulp from the pulp chamber to temporarily relieve pain; Usually a precursor to a root canal.
- Apicoectomy - A root-end resection. Occasionally a root canal alone will not be enough to relieve pain and the end of the tooth, called the apex, will be removed by entering through the gingiva and surgically extracting the diseased material.
- Root canal
- Prosthodontic (dental prosthetics)
- Crowns (caps) — artificial coverings of the tooth made from a variety of materials, including CMC/PMC (ceramic/porcelain metal composite), gold or a tin/aluminum mixture. The underlying tooth must be reshaped to accommodate these
- Veneers — artificial coverings similar to above, except that they only cover the forward (labial or buccal) surface of the tooth. Usually for aesthetic purposes only.
- Bridges — a set of two or more fused crowns which bridge a missing tooth (teeth). Typically used after an extraction.
- Implants — a procedure in which a base is set into the bone (mandible or maxilla), allowed to heal, and months later an artificial tooth is screwed into place.
- Dentures (false teeth) — a partial or complete set of dentition which either attach to neighboring teeth by use of metal or plastic grasps or to the gingival or palatial surface by use of adhesive.
- Implant-supported prosthesis — a combination of dentures and implants, bases are placed into the bone, allowed to heal, and metal appliances are fixed to the gingival surface, following which dentures are placed atop and fixed into place.
- Orthodontic treatment
- Implants and implant-supported prosthesis — also an orthodontic treatment as it involves bones
- Apiectomy — also an orthodontic treatment as part of the underlying bone structure must be removed.
- Extraction — a procedure in which a diseased, redundant, or problematic tooth is removed, either by pulling or cutting out. This procedure can be done under local or general anesthesia and is very common — many people have their wisdom teeth removed before they become problematic.
- Fiberotomy — a procedure to sever the fibers around a tooth, preventing it from relapsing.
Professional dental careEdit
- See also: Oral hygiene
More frequent cleaning and examination may be necessary during the treatment of many of the dental/oral disorders. Routine examination of the teeth is recommended at least every year. This may include yearly, select dental X-rays. See also dental plaque identification procedure and removal.
Dental instruments and restorative materials Edit
- Main article: Dental instruments
Dental anesthesiaEdit
- Main article: Dental anesthesia
Dentists inject anesthetic to block sensory transmission by the alveolar nerves. The superior alveolar nerves are not usually anesthetized directly because they are difficult to approach with a needle. For this reason, the maxillary teeth are usually anesthetized locally by inserting the needle beneath the oral mucosa surrounding the teeth. The inferior alveolar nerve probably is anesthetized more often than any other nerve in the body. To anesthetize this nerve, the dentist inserts the needle somewhat posterior to the patient's last molar.

This is a great game that will be a terrific game to add to your PS3 library.

Wait...i thought this was pc/360. ?
anyways GREAT! news for ps3 owners!
i was wanting to buy a 360 for the original mass effect ) (my pc sucks) so this saves me over 1 hundred dollars! awesome !
and for $15.00, its not a bad deal at all.

Collapsus – Interactive video on the post-peak oil reality
Michael Andersen, ARGNet
In March of 2010, the Dutch broadcasting company VPRO released the documentary Energy Risk as part of its Future Affairs programming. The Dutch-language documentary explored the impending transition from fossil fuel to alternative energy sources. Recognizing that the average documentary viewer is over the age of 55, the network approached SubmarineChannel to create a more engaging experience that would appeal to younger audiences. Tommy Pallotta was brought on board to direct the experience, and the Collapsus experience was born.
Staying true to the project's documentary roots, Collapsus presents a global narrative that plays out in the near-future. Told through the eyes of activist vlogger Vera and a cast of supporting characters, Collapsus depicts a complex world of profiteering, geo-political maneuvering, and conspiracy centering around dwindling oil reserves.
… Reflecting this fragmented view of storytelling, viewers can slide their mouse to the right at any point in the video to view faux-news reports from Citizenergy, along with English-language clips from the Energy Risk documentary that relate directly to events in the story. Sliding the mouse to the left brings up a map that leads to an interactive infographic granting the player absolute control over energy allocation and research budgets for the UK and Bulgaria. Pallotta explains that the game "allows you to look at energy in a way that really shows a cause and effect of consumption and production. In this sense we can talk about what is going on in a fictional and geo-political way, but the game actually places you in a simulation that makes the problems more tangible and guides you to think of solutions."
… Collapsus treats the subject of alternative energy with care, and provides no easy answers. Although the narrative presents space-based solar power as a viable alternative to fossil fuels, the flaws of the system are laid out in stark relief, leaving the audience open to explore alternatives. Pallotta notes that the project was designed for the connected generation, and has been well-received with younger audiences

Collapsus Introduction

Collapsus Introduction from SubmarineChannel on Vimeo.
Introduction by director Tommy Pallotta.
Collapsus is a brand-new transmedia project from SubmarineChannel that combines interactivity, animation, fiction, and documentary. Collapsus looks into the near future and shows you how the imminent energy crisis affects a group of ten young people, who appear to be caught up in an energy conspiracy. Collapsus is the transmedia project associated with the documentary, Energy Risk.
Collapsus is directed by Tommy Pallotta, producer of Scanner Darkly and Waking Life, and director of American Prince.

What is Collapsus.com ?
Collapsus site, Submarine Channel
Collapsus signals a new experience in transmedia storytelling that combines interactivity, animation, fiction, and documentary. This pioneering approach blends real documentary footage with mini-games and movie fragments, inviting you to choose your own perspective as the story unfolds. Interact and make decisions to avoid further blackouts; get a broader perspective by listening to the experts; or observe the consequences for everyday people through the fictional story.
Collapsus looks into the near future and shows you how the imminent energy transition affects a group of ten young people, who appear to be caught up in an energy conspiracy. What will their world look like after the turbulent transition from fossil fuels to alternative energy sources?
Following the adventures of Vera, Jack, Tony and Amir, you are lead into a world of conspiracy, treason and, most alarmingly, failing energy supplies. In this story, set in the near future, the international powers try to cope with a transition from fossil to alternative fuels, while dealing with political dissension, uprisings and a population terrified by increasingly frequent black-outs. As a player, you are required to make decisions that
leave their mark
You will be placed in crucial moments in time, and be taken to a series of locations such as London, the Ukraine,
Teheran and Colorado. Live action footage combined with animation will help you understand the current political
situation – as well the characters' course of destiny. In your journey you'll be accompanied and guided by the vlog posts of Vera and her friends as they attempt to figure out not only their personal problems, but also what is happening in their collapsing world – and what they can do to create a livable future world.
Collapsus aims to provide you with a deeper insight into the complex issues surrounding global energy politics. You are able to explore these issues by viewing the story, accessing additional information, and making difficult choices that influence the world's energy production. With this immersive approach, Collapsus.com uses internet capabilities to draw astonishing international contrasts and connections, between disparate countries and organizations, around the central theme of energy politics. Behind every energy related article you might read in the paper lies a compelling, globally-relevant story. Collapsus tells this story.
Production notes
The audience for documentary is dying. The average age of a television documentary viewer is 55 and up. Dutch broadcaster VPRO came to Submarine with the concept of making a simulation game in which the player experiences the impending world's energy problems. The goal was to attract a different audience than traditional documentary
What emerged from this experiment is the transmedia experience, Collapsus. SubmarineChannel, the producers of Collapsus, has over a decade of experience with documentary storytelling and with making games and animations, but their real passion lies in creating a cross-over between these genres. Collapsus combines the three elements in a
unitary interface, telling this rather complex story in a contemporary manner. Producer Bruno Felix says, "We always try to approach complex issues in appealing and engaging ways. It was very interesting to produce a transmedia project because it is an emerging genre that is still in development and experimentation is still possible".

How to Boil a Frog DVD now available for pre-order
Jon Cooksey, HTBAF newsletter
… People out there are anxious, busy, broke and don't want to hear any more bad news, so talking to them about the issue(s) that your Facebook group/NGO/terrorist organization is trying to spread the word about is very tough.
We here at How to Boil a Frog Industries Ltd. Inc. PLC SKG LLP think we may have a way to help with that: you slip people a copy of the movie on DVD and say "Hey, I saw this, and it's funny – let's get together and talk about it after you watch it." Then you get back together (thus forming community!) and talk about a movie, which, let's face it, is way easier than getting together to talk about deforestation, economic collapse, or colonoscopies.
OK, HTBAF doesn't actually tackle colonoscopies (we had to save something for the sequel). But it covers a lot of other pretty grim stuff in a funny way, and offers a set of solutions that actual real people can incorporate into their lives without moving to a cave. And we need to start spreading the news about a new way of living fast, because all that stuff in the first paragraph is just the tip of the melting iceberg. So if you want to help make the Big Shift happen, good news: "How to Boil a Frog" is now AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER ON DVD. (If you have a website, please embed the link!) [LINK: http://www.howtoboilafrog.com/frogshop/ ]
If you haven't seen the movie yourself, of course, now's your chance. But if you do buy it to watch it, loan it out after. As a Friend o' the Frog, you are an ambassador of fun and meaning and community. Loan it to that annoying neighbor – you never know when you might need help defending your 50 pound sacks of rice from the Marauding Hordes. Use it to extend your circle of friends and conversation. It could be the best piece of non-recyclable plastic you buy today!
In other Frog news, the movie will start airing in Eastern Canada on The Movie Network at the beginning of November – thanks to TMN and Movie Central for being our earliest supporters! And we've been accepted to the Wild & Scenic Film Festival in January 2010, so if you're near Nevada City, CA, come say hi!

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (Blugolds.com) – The UW-Eau Claire women's volleyball team kicked off 2012 with a pair of victories on the first day of the UW-Eau Claire Labor Day Classic in the McPhee Physical Education Center.

Lauren Sutherland (Jr.-Dayton, Minn./Meadow Creek Christian) finished with a match-high 34 digs while four other Blugolds each had 10 or more. Neave also led the match with 58 set assists.
With the two victories, the Blugolds increased their home winning streak to nine straight, tied for the eighth longest in school history. The streak began on Sept. 6, 2011.
Saturday, the Blugolds will compete two more times to wrap up the classic. They will face Martin Luther College (Minn.) at 10 a.m. and will end the day against the College of St. Benedict (Minn.) at 2:30 p.m.

22 displaced, pet killed in Winston-Salem apartment fire
22 displaced, pet killed in Winston-Salem apartment fire
More than 20 people were displaced and a pet was killed following an apartment complex fire on just the second day of the new year.
The fire was reported just after 4 a.m. Wednesday at a complex at 4260 Brownsboro Road, between North Cherry Street and University Parkway.
Two apartments suffered major fire damage, while six others had smoke and water damage.
The fire was out by 5:50 a.m., and all 17 adults and five children were evacuated safely, said Antony Farmer, Winston-Salem fire chief. The Red Cross and other emergency officials tended to the displaced.
Early indications point to unattended cooking as the cause of the fire, Farmer said.
Total damages were estimated at $130,000.

Ever been faced with a wedding comment that was so inappropriate it left you tongue-tied? Among the congratulations and well-wishing, you're bound to hear a few remarks that are rude, annoying, or flat-out appalling. Be prepared and you'll leave them sputtering.
"Are you sure you're ready?"
Translation: Coming from an unmarried acquaintance, this sort of question is likely a projection of their own fears -- they're not in a position to make a lifelong commitment, so it's hard to imagine that you could be.
Quick comeback: Exude confidence and leave no room for anyone to debate if you or your fiance is in any way unprepared for what you're getting into: "Absolutely! We are completely in love and ready to be together forever."
More from The Knot: 10 biggest wedding blunders
"The marriage won't last."
Translation: Whether it's a reflection of their own marriage problems or a past incident that convinced them monogamy is impossible, this person has a knack for souring good news.
Quick comeback: It's easy to get seriously offended by this one, but take the high road and try cheesy humor. Ask if their favorite precious stone is "jaded" or whether they hit any traffic on the Pessimist Expressway that morning.
More from The Knot: 5 people who will try to take over your wedding
"Your engagement is too long."
Translation: Any engagement over a year might seem excessive to some, but it takes a lot of time to pull everything together. The person's comment may be out of surprise, not ill will.
Quick comeback: You have a few acceptable options: Explain that the best wedding vendors are booked more than a year in advance, that you're extending the engagement to save more money, or that you have something you want to accomplish (finish your degree, settle into a new job) before you make your marriage official.
"Your engagement is too short."
Translation: While you and your fiance have probably discussed getting engaged for a while, the news might be a shock to some. The person who says this doubts you'll have enough time to plan a nice wedding.
Quick comeback: Reassure them that though your engagement is brief, you set the wedding planning wheels in motion well before he popped the question. Be calm -- if you seem too swept up in the excitement of the proposal, it supports the idea that you're rushing things.
"Is that really the ring you wanted?"
Translation: Almost any engagement ring can elicit a snide remark, whether it's too big, too small, too sparkly, or not sparkly enough. This sort of nastiness undoubtedly stems from jealously that you've been proposed to, and the ring is an object that provides an outlet for them to concentrate all their envious feelings on.
Quick comeback: It's every newly engaged woman's right to show off her rock, but if you get negative vibes from someone, draw focus away from the ring with a simple reply like, "We're both really happy and excited."
"This bridesmaid dress is ugly."
Translation: While it's a cliche for a bridesmaid to gripe about the dress, it still happens. If she's strapped for cash, her disapproval may be in hopes that you'll pick something less expensive. Or she could really think it's hideous.
Quick comeback: Find out why she doesn't like it and try to locate some middle ground. Suggest that she stick with the dress color but then let her choose her own silhouette.
"That's a great idea...I'll do it too!"
Translation: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but it's aggravating when a friend steals a unique wedding idea. Take it as a compliment that your ideas are so great; then steer your friend in a new direction.
Quick comeback: Agree the idea would work well in your friend's wedding, but suggest she personalize it to better fit her style. Encourage some brainstorming and change an element of the concept so it's similar but not identical.
"Who is paying for all this?"
Translation: Maybe they're surprised by all of the nice details you've included in your wedding, or perhaps they're wondering how your parents could afford to host such a great party on their own dime. Either way, this one ranks near the very top of the bad etiquette list.
Quick comeback: Unless you're willing to share that info, immediately let the person know they've crossed the line: "I'm sorry, but that's between my fiance and me."
"Am I going to be invited?"
Translation: No need to decipher this one -- this person simply wants to attend the party. Tactless on their part, sure, but don't be surprised when an annoying coworker, excitable neighbor, or wayward cousin asks for an invite.
Quick comeback: Rather than postpone the awkwardness with a dodgy line like, "We haven't finalized the list yet," tell them that, due to a tight budget, you're keeping things intimate and the guest list will be mostly close family.
"How much did that cost?"
Translation: This can be interpreted in a few ways. If the person is planning their own wedding, they're probably asking out of genuine interest because they like what you're doing. If, however, there's no chance they're planning their nuptials, odds are whatever you tell them will garner an obnoxious response.
Quick comeback: A simple "That's none of your business" will suffice, or you could throw them off with some dramatics: "It cost me an arm and my fiance a leg -- next week we're going in for surgery together. Romantic, right?"
"I'm RSVPing...with guest."
Translation: Some people think that it's fine to tack on a "plus one" to any wedding invite. Though it's definitely a wedding etiquette faux pas, you should give your guest the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to an innocent misunderstanding rather than a snobby "I don't go anywhere without a date" attitude.
Quick comeback: Call as soon as you receive the offending RSVP and gently explain: "I'm sorry that it wasn't clearer, and we're excited you're coming, but our guest list is packed so we can't include a date for every guest."
"I want to make a toast."
Translation: They want the world (or at least the reception) to know how proud they are you tied the knot. And a minute in the spotlight satisfies any extrovert tendencies they might have.
Quick comeback: Say that you're flattered by the offer, but you want to keep the toasts to a minimum -- just the parents and honor attendants. If a close family member really wants to speak, you should consider letting them say a few words at the rehearsal dinner.
"So when are you going to have kids?"
Translation: The joy of a wedding leaves some people overly enthusiastic about the next huge life event: starting a family. Curiosity about baby plans is natural -- most people keep those thoughts to themselves, while others prove to be significantly less reserved.
Quick comeback: Even if you have a clear plan about when you want to start having babies, be vague in discussing a timeline. Try, "We'd love to be parents someday, but we're taking things one step at a time -- starting with the wedding."

Fox supervisors approve business items
During their recent meeting, the Fox Township Supervisors approved several bids, correspondence items and discussed unfinished business. While reviewing bids for equipment leases, supervisor Dave Mattiuz questioned why the township finds it necessary to rent equipment. He said that he found since January 2010, the township has spent $121,000 on equipment rentals.Roadmaster and fellow supervisor Randy Gradizzi said a lot of the rentals are needed due to time constraints."Most of our trucks are set up for salting and anti-skid, so this is when a tandem and triaxle truck come in handy," Gradizzi said. "We do a lot of jobs in-house and it would cost us a lot more if we would have to bid entire projects out."Gradizzi added that this year, the only equipment the township rented was for use in setting manholes and for sewer line extensions."We're not going to need to rent a lot of equipment this year," Gradizzi said.Fellow supervisor Mike Keller added that if the township would have purchased an excavator five years ago, when he initially proposed the idea, the machinery could be paid for by now, as well as having a trained operator to employ the machinery. "It wasn't the mindset of the board at the time," Keller said. "We don't need one for the immediate future, but I think we ought to examine purchasing it if we have any large project in the future."At the beginning of the meeting, the board reviewed equipment leases. Pollino Excavating was awarded bids for a 40,000-pound excavator costing $79 per hour without an operator; a D4 bulldozer for $69 per hour with an operator; and a triaxle truck for $67. Bids for a tandem truck were at $62 each between Vollmer Brothers and Dowie Skip Steer. Gradizzi noted that he will rotate which business between the two he contacts for projects.Also, Bucktail Excavators was awarded the winning bid, with prices including $15.96 per 4,000 tons of 1B, $13.21 for five thousand tons of 2A limestone and 500 tons of number three limestone for $16.96 a ton. HR/WRC Whitaker was awarded the winning bid for $3.28 per gallon for MC70 Dust Oil.Under unfinished business, Mattiuz, said he is still not happy with the wording of the draft ordinance regarding a savings plan for the township.Keller explained that as part of this process, the township began working on the project for two main reasons. "One reason for the savings plan is to save money as a priority rather than as whatever is left over, and to preserve money and interest that is saved to use when the landfill is done," Keller explained. "The interest will be used to help balance the general fund budget and the principal can only be used if the supervisors deem it an emergency, such as a road project, etc."As part of the savings plan, amounts of up to $1.7 million will have 25 percent set aside, amounts from $1.7 to $2.1 million will have 30 percent set aside and amounts over $2.1 million will have 35 percent set aside.Notice has been received by the township stating that Steve Skrzypek has been appointed by the governor as the Emergency Management Coordinator for Fox Township.

Actress Minnie Driver looked so authentic as a mother-to-be in an upcoming movie, her 4-year-old son was convinced a sibling was on the way.
The British star wore a prosthetic baby bump for her role in "Return to Zero," but when her real life son, Henry, saw her bulging figure he couldn't wait for a brother or sister – and he even offered to be his single mom's suitor during her "pregnancy."
Driver tells U.K. talk show host Graham Norton, "It was weird being knocked up again. What I liked about it was when I was really pregnant I was the size of a house, but this was how every woman imagines she would look with the perfect neat bump …
"I had to explain (to Henry) I was pretending to be pregnant and he was like, 'Are we having a baby?' He was genuinely waiting for there to be a baby and was very keen. When he said he wanted a brother or a sister I explained, 'You need a boyfriend or husband to have one of those,' and he said, 'Ah, I can be that.'"

A safe, private place to get
doctor-approved information
on health, emotions, and life.
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the fallopian tubes, uterus, or ovaries. Most girls with PID develop it after getting a sexually transmitted disease (STD), such as chlamydia or gonorrhea.
Girls who have sex with different partners or don't use condoms are most likely to get STDs and be at risk for PID. If PID is not treated, it can lead to internal scarring that might cause ongoing pelvic pain, infertility, or an ectopic pregnancy.
PID can cause severe symptoms or very mild to no symptoms. Girls who do have symptoms may notice:
Any girl who has signs of an STD should get medical care as soon as possible. An untreated STD has a greater chance of becoming PID.
If PID is not treated or goes unrecognized, it can continue to spread through a girl's reproductive organs. Untreated PID may lead to long-term reproductive problems, including:
If you think you may have PID, see your gynecological health care provider (your family doctor or nurse practitioner, gynecologist, or adolescent doctor) right away. The longer a girl waits before getting treatment, the more likely it is that she will have problems.
If a doctor thinks a girl has PID, he or she will do a physical exam, including a pelvic exam. The exam can show if a girl has a painful cervix, abnormal discharge from the cervix, or pain over one or both ovaries.
The doctor may also take swabs of fluid from the cervix and vagina, and this fluid will be tested for STDs. He or she may also do a pregnancy test. Sometimes health providers take blood or do urine tests to look for signs of infection, including STDs like chlamydia and gonorrhea.
Sometimes doctors need an ultrasound or CAT scan of the lower abdomen to see what's going on with a girl's reproductive organs. Ultrasounds are often used to diagnose a TOA or ectopic pregnancy.
If doctors find that a girl has PID, they will prescribe antibiotics to take for a couple of weeks. It's vital to take every dose of the medicine to completely treat the infection, even if a girl's symptoms go away before she finishes the medicine. It's also important that girls with PID get rechecked 2–3 days after beginning treatment to make sure that they are improving. A girl who has taken all her medicine for PID but still isn't feeling better should follow up with her doctor.
Girls with more severe cases of PID might have a fever or vomiting, and not respond to medicines by mouth. They, and girls with PID who are pregnant, often are treated in the hospital for a few days with antibiotics given directly into a vein through an IV. Surgery is sometimes needed if a girl has an abscess. Ectopic pregnancies can require emergency surgery.
If a girl has PID, her sexual partners should be checked for STDs right away so they can get treatment. And, a couple should hold off on having sex again until at least 7 days after both partners have finished treatment. An untreated partner is likely to reinfect a girl with the same STD again.
The best way to prevent STDs or PID is to not have sex (abstinence). For those who choose to have sex, it's important to use protection and to have as few sexual partners as possible. Using latex condoms properly and every time you have sex helps protect against most STDs. However, it's also very important to have regular checkups with your doctor. And if either partner has any symptoms of STDs, both partners should be tested and treated as soon as possible.
So when you're making choices about sex, be smart and be safe.

Tag: leaked track 1&2
Credit Card Dumps Track 1&2 Definition
Credit Card Dumps and Magnetic Stripe Definition Explained
In a financial credit card dumps there are 3 types of tracks where the information is stored in the magnetic stripe for industry use. These is what hackers calls DUMPS.
Track 1 is coded with DEC SIXBIT and the ODD Parity method.
The information is stored in different formats that goes from A to M.
The "A" is only used by the bank itself, so you don't to take much attention to this letter.
The "B" is where the holder's financial information is stored, the most important section of the magnetic stripe.
C to M, is used for the ANSI Subcommittee X3B10.
N to Z, is the information that is available for use of individual card issuers.
Here you can see how it looks like:
Let's go fast and easy:
- % for Start Sentinel
- B for Bank Type Credit Card
- 5XXXXXXXXXXXXXX2 for the Primary Account Number, in most cases this is the number printed on the front of the card, but not always.
- ^ is the separator
- GEORGENULL would be the the Holder's last name
- / is the separator
- MAX the first name
- ^ Again another separator
- 11 Expiry Year, 03 Expiry Month
- 101 the Service Code
- 000000001000000003000000 the Discretionary Data
- ? is the end.
So, now that you already know how the information is stored in Track 1 and the letter containers, you should already figured out that the Track 1&2 are the vital tracks and the Track 3 is useless. The credit card dumps are mainly the first 2 tracks.
This track is used by the ATM's , physical payment processors and in any online website.
There are a lot of components in this track, in an easy first time check layout would be:
| Start Sentinel | PRIMARY ACCOUNT NUMBER | FIELD SEPARATOR | Additional Data | End Sentinel | Longitude Redundancy Check |
